--------- #OhItsHalloween? Someone who hurt you shows up at your door, dressed as a better person. You've healed. You can see the costume. And all you can think is: oh, it's halloween? A sarcastic waltz about the ex who keeps changing masks. 🎧 Best with headphones Tag the friend who needs to hear this before answering that text. --------- You knock on my door with some borrowed new language "I'm working on me" and "I hear you" in tow You practiced that sorry, it's all in the timing You pause in the places a good man would know And you look so convincing, I almost believe it Till I see that the tag's still attached to your sleeve Oh, it's halloween? Dressed as somebody who'd never hurt me Oh, it's halloween? Nice costume, I hope that you kept the receipt Your friend calls at midnight, he's sounding so worried He says you're not eating, you're "not quite yourself" It's funny your heartbreak needs someone to say it You never could cry unless someone could tell And I'd almost feel sorry, I'd almost forgive you But you wear all those tears like a coat that's brand new Oh, it's halloween? Dressed as the victim, the one who got hurt Oh, it's halloween? Your friends come around trick-or-treating for you I've seen what's beneath all the makeup you wear And I learned it by heart in the dark It took me so long to stop flinching at doors I don't jump anymore when you knock Oh, it's halloween? Funny, I stopped keeping track of the dates Oh, it's halloween? The party's been over for years, so go home
